Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) is confident in its new transportation plan for the first day of school on Thursday, aiming to avoid last year’s chaos. Despite ongoing federal court proceedings where a lawsuit could potentially delay the school start until November, Superintendent Marty Pollio assured that school will begin as planned. The lawsuit, filed by two parents, argues that the district’s new bus plan negatively affects students of color and may force them into less desirable schools. Pollio believes the court’s decision, if unfavorable, could alter the plan but assures parents that they should not be concerned.
